AI generated summary

Oncor has submitted a proposal to the Texas Public Utility Commission (PUC) to increase its Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) charges for retail electric providers. The proposed new rates vary across different categories, including residential and commercial sectors, with significant increases noted for both secondary and primary users. For instance, the residential charge per kWh is set to rise from $0.004553 to $0.005787, while secondary users with a demand greater than 10 kW will see an increase from $0.819305 to $1.039648 per billing kW.

The proposed changes are aimed to take effect on May 30, 2025, pending approval from the PUC. Oncor's timeline allows for a 60-day review period, which could potentially be extended, impacting the notice period provided to retail electric providers. The proposal emphasizes that the new rates will only be implemented after a 45-day notice period following the PUC's approval, ensuring that retail providers are adequately informed of the changes.
